I was poking around my friends' flists and, honestly, anyone who likes punk rock AND Mary Renault is not someone I can pass by without adding. Friends?
guuuuh isn't she amazing? I read "The Charioteer" over the summer and loved it. I'm about halfway through "The Persian Boy" even though I have NO TIME for leisure reading. She's an incredible storyteller; whenever someone asks for a Well Written Novel, I point to her.
Ohh I need to reread The Charioteer! It's been forever.
The Persian Boy is my personal favorite. I kind of have a weird obsession with Alexander the Great. Also, Bagoas in that book is just impossible not to fall in love with.
I keep telling people to go read her stuff, but no one ever listens to me. Hmph. Their loss.
But the internet doesn't have to get up for work at 6am! I swear work is trying to make sure that I don't sleep. Two overnights and then a morning shift? What the hell? XD

Psh, who needs sleep. The internet does not sleep, therefore neither should we. ;)

I used to have a job that scheduled me like that. It's like they want you to have insomnia issues for the rest of your life. It's just plain evil.
